If I knew enough to do that I doubt I'd be in this pickle.
By the way, I see no documentation concerning removing grub from
where ever its been installed.
I'm guessing that I've installed it into a few too many boot sectors
and now am getting passed to them . That is what appears to happen
when I try to boot from grub floppy.
After setting
root (hd0,1,a)
chainloader +1
boot
Immediately restarts grub.
Anyone know a formula for erassing any boot sectors I've stuck grub into?
